Have you ever thought about what would happen if you were sold for human trafficking? Would you ever see your family again, or are you just going to end up disappearing forever? “Human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act (Homeland Security)”. People every year are being taken away and sold into human trafficking and never being seen again by their families. So they question what makes this so unusual and hard to talk about? Well that’s what we will discuss today.

There are so many concerns caused with human trafficking. The individual, if they are found and brought home safely, they could have a sexual transmitted disease or even pregnant. They could have many different health issues such as broken bones, cardiovascular problems, or even mental health issues. Even sometimes coming back with a substance or alcohol abuse problem. The list goes on, and everyday human trafficking is spreading.

By learning about human trafficking you can help stop the major problem that is occurring today. Figure out the ways that one might look if being held for human trafficking and alert officials immediately if you have suspicions. If you think someone is a victim of human trafficking call the National Human Trafficking Hotline. Work with others to learn the signs of victims of human trafficking. Making others known of this problem and what it can look like is very important so they can help in the search for people in danger.

I believe human trafficking is a major issue that a lot of people aren’t looking at as much as they should. We need to investigate into these problems more and more. There is an estimate of 40.3 million people who are victims of this terrible crime, and it is continuing to grow. We need to find ways to help not only adults but young children who are being taken by monsters.

Human Trafficking isn’t an easy crime to solve and is growing by the numbers at this very moment. It is hard to say when we will ever find a solution to this problem, but we must because it is becoming too much. What do you think can be done to help us solve this issue? If you see any type of suspicious behaviors or are a victim of human trafficking yourself, please call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888.
